[MAGISK][APP][FIX]Google Camera with HDR+ on FRONT/BACK, Portrait mod fix and Guides

As everyone was asking for some guides and fixes of the Google Camera on our Mi Note 3 device, I decided to help you out with a guide and all necessary resources to get it working.
First of all, for people new to Google Camera, follow @dimi89 's guide as an introduction to all processes needed to achieve a working camera port.
To make it simple, you need to:
Unlock bootloader
Flash TWRP or boot it through fastboot (there are plenty of guides here)
Install Magisk systemless root through TWRP recovery
Flash my fixes module below to enable Camera 2 API and make front camera working as desired
Install the best APK for you from https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
Be happy
Until now, we had it working but some features like Portrait mode, front camera HDR+ and portrait, plus front camera flash were missing.
With the help of @defcomg I managed to make a Magisk Module as a bundle that does both enabling Camera2API and adds necessary libs to fix the camera. You can download it below.
As per the apk of the GCam on your device, I recommend latest Arnova8G2 version. You can also find it at the bottom of this post. It is great and does not require any other settings after you apply the fix in Magisk.
Downloads here:
-Camera2API, Portrait mode + HDR on front camera fix (MAGISK MODULE) - https://mega.nz/#!M5gjSQxJ!K5Q4XmdRimI_x2xpOWexHR52qUi5sklOV7SVhWWo9RE
-Stable and autoconfig GCam - https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/...eCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7beta-test-9.apk
For any other questions, feel free to ask me.
IMPORTANT!! The fix for front cam may not work with all ROMs. It was tested on the following:
XIAOMI.EU Stable 9.5.4.0
XIAOMI.EU Stable 9.2.x.x
XIAOMI.EU Developer 8.3.22
Lineage OS
AOSP Extended
You can test it on your device on your own risk. If it does not work you can delete module from magisk.
Credits to @defcomg for the help with the library, @WebDingo for the magisk module and @Arnova8G2 for the amazing work with all GCam ports. Also crediting other developers for their great additions to this community.
Enjoy!

Great job
Great job Gcam now works very well, the only thing I noticed is that is laggy at times in portrait mode. Is it normal?

will it work on my mi5s?

Thank you, its working! Mi Note 3 xiaomi.eu 9.5.4.0

thanks bro for sharing

Anyone have flash via twrp fix version ?

Thanksss. With arnova v6 (and this beta) works fine. So I've a problem but...you have 60 FPS video? For me is ever 30 FPS and I search in every part of the web the way to have got 60 FPS in full hd. For me is very important. If you know a way, please tell me (also use another new custom ROM). Thanks

GCAM, Working on which roms ?

Hello Guys,
Yesterday I got my bootloader unlocked and after that, jnstalled the Pixel Experience. But, I found no gcam version working properly.
Reading here and miui forum, I realized that in some ROMs it is working like a charm (RR, for example).
So, im asking you guys, to comment here, which ROM are you using, and if it is working 100%.
Here:
ROM: Havoc OS.
Gcam: No HDR+ on front, black screen everytime.
Thank you all.

Doesnt matter which rom, indian RN5 works good with gcam, global/china RN5 doesnt have fully working gcam.

I'm using
- pixel experience 9.0 // August build
- Arnova's v8.1: GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.1.apk (Arnova8G2, 2018-07-22)
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-arnova8G2/#apk391
Magisk modules
- HAL3 enabler - camera2 API support (if you have PE extended you don't need this one)
- RN5 camera patch module
(@rn5cpm , telegram group where you can find the link for miui and pie and support the dev)
Optional
- OP3/3T front camera fix - Oreo
( It is the only module that allows me to use hdr+ and portrait mode with the front camera, without any bugs)
With this build everything works fine without (almost) any crash, even the 240fps slow motion.
Stock xiaomi camera works too, sometimes it crashes, but with the Google cam I don't think you'll need to use it again.
Edit - update
Sometimes when I take a picture with the front facing camera in hdr+ it might be all black, but if I take a picture with the back camera and then switch to the front one it works again. I know it's a little bit tricky and I still don't completely understand why it happens , but it works in this way and it's not a big issue to me.

Try it and report me back what is working and what is not.
Tested on Mokee latest 201906190631 nightly rom .
Every thing is working perfectly

Tested it. The camera works fine, the 48MP options working good. But always crashed on potrait mode camera.
IMHO, gcam had a better picture quality.
This mod replaces the default camera apps on installed. It means, your default camera apps will gone after flash this mod.
Any way to recover it?
Thanks anyway.
Good job devs.
Testing on PE Rom CAF Edition latest build.

Yeah, for me the potrait mode made the apps crashed and when I open the camera again, it stays on potrait mode. So I can barely open the apps, the only way to recover it just with clear the storage of the apps. So the camera restarting the state, just like when opened for the first time.

Tried every lower version till v100
V98 cannot even open in photo mode.
So I'm guessing lower than that will not work anymore.
Every version till v100, none of them works in potrait mode.
The rom still on PE ROM CAF editions.

I flashed it in my Redmi note 7 Indian version and it broke everything the anxCamera says can't connect to the camera. GCam is crashing and WhatsApp is crashing while opening camera.
I'm on PE ROM caf edition.

please change the rom and try something else like other caf based roms.And see if it works or not because in our violet some the people stated that they are having same portrait mode bug but after switching 1/2 roms they found everything working.I don't have lavender so u need to test. And portrait mode bug is reported on the official Camera mod too.So if they fix portrait mode u will have fully bugless camera app from me .

Same here, Lavender with Havoc OS 2.6. Installed everything (camera related) crashed, uninstalled, still nothing works. Even the stock camera app stops working.
Please check it, or put a warning in the first post.

I'm using V83 and it so good to work. No problem with Gcam & other. But when i use v111 - 114 it crash all. No Camera can working, Anx & Gcam. So i uninstall it and Gcam working good again. Hope v115 so good than.
Can i flash v115 on v83 or uninstall 83 before install v115

V115: Portrait make app error. Come back v83 is the good idea !

v115 works fine except for portrait mode where the app crashes. Also shooting in 48mp mode only gives 12mp images.

can anyone test 4k eis?

EvoX official already supports slow motion at 240fps out of the box with default gcam. So no need of flashing this mod.

Development regarding note 7 pro(Violet)
Dude I am appreciating your work and now same problem applies to note 7 pro as well it has maximum capability of 480fps but still it is recording in 120fps. So please help for note 7 pro to unlock atleast 240fps!

I tried it with multiple gcams, including preferred one and various 7.2, 6.2 and 6.1 versions. 120fps works fine, when I turn to 240 it just crashes. I think the issue is that I have Android 10. MIUI version: 20.3.26 beta
UPD. Got MIUI update 20.5.14, tried again. My best try: trCamera_REBORN_V5_deep_end_final.
1/4 / 1/8 switch works, but has no effect (both options do 1/4)

Thank you for your response
:fingers-crossed:

Don't works on MIUI 11
I test this mod on MIUI 10 and works perfectly but when I try to install it on MIUI 11 it doesn't works and breaks stock cam. Can you fix it ? Maybe only works with oldcam blobs

If anyone managed to use this mod, please write down specific ROM and GCam mod you've used it with.
AIDA64 says I have S5KGM1 sensor.

Rn7 with miui 12 xiaomi eu weekly 20.7.30
FC when move from 1\4 slowmo to 1\8 so isn't working here. I try with your suggested cam and with last parrot gcam with same result

Gcam is crashing after flashing this zip

no mirrors found???

redmi Note 7, ReloadedOS 20200809, newest gcam from parrot043 works fine, but the focus is either too close or too far when in 240fps and I have to move to get the thing I'm filming in focus

I wanna make me sure: Redmi Note 7 Global = Just Redmi Note 7, yeah?

Almost perfect Gcam 7.2 with Video Recording, Night Sight, Manual Controls and Enhanc

thank you so much <3

Great job.
I had to totally disable HDR though because if I took pictures relatively quickly it would never process some of them and they wouldn't appear in gallery, just stuck in the app with "HDR+ processing".

That is strange, works here. What is your ROM? There are some known problems with Gcam on non-LineageOS-based ROMs.

problems with focus
anyone else had problems with the focus?
before taking the picture the camera focuses perfectly, but when you click the shutter the focus is taken forward.
it only happens with this gcam, with the gcam that comes with the aosp rom of my moto g5 did not have this problem.

The camera crashing at startup was because I had not installed the OpenGapps, now it works correctly.

Want to try this cam but link for nift4-trCamera.xml doesn't seem to be working for me.
Any chance of posting it again?
Thanks

Getting 'Something went wrong, try recording again' error with video. Seems to help for a while if I reboot phone.

I was able to follow all the instructions successfully. On the first start everything works fine. I can switch to all camera modes: portrait, camera, video, panorama, .... But if I close the app and open it again, I get no camera preview on all picture based settings. The screens shows all the settings and grids, etc. but the camera preview is black.
All the other presets (video and more) are working fine (except the already mentioned slow motion crash which I can confirm).
OpenCamera from F-Droid works fine.
